Where to Get The COVID-19 Vaccine and Booster in Jersey City

The CDC strongly advocates receiving any vaccine rather than being unvaccinated. It’s your choice which vaccine to receive. Still, based on the latest evidence on vaccine effectiveness, safety, rare adverse events, and consideration of the U.S. vaccine supply, the CDC recommends the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (Moderna or Pfizer) over the Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine. Therefore, we created this guide if you want to get a vaccine or booster in Jersey City. If you are looking for information on vaccines for children, you can check this guide out.

Who is eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine in New Jersey?

Everyone 5 years or older is eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine in New Jersey and is encouraged to get vaccinated as soon as possible.

  • All adults (18 and older) are eligible for the two-dose Pfizer, two-dose Moderna, or one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccines.
  • All adolescents ages 12 through 17 are eligible for the two-dose Pfizer vaccine.
  • Children ages 5 through 11 are eligible for the pediatric two-dose Pfizer vaccine.
  • Everyone 16 and older are eligible for a booster shot if it has been at least two months since their one-dose Johnson & Johnson shot or at least six months after completing their two-dose Pfizer or Moderna vaccine series. At this time, only the Pfizer vaccine is authorized and recommended for adolescents aged 16 and 17.
  • People who are moderate to severely immune-compromised are eligible for a third dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines.
